What it
does.
How does it
improve my reading on my chosen device.
What does it give me as the '
extra'.
OIP obviously does something good - else it wouldn't have a defined place on the MR menus.
Where's the introductory paragraph that defines the product.........

Ok, so you buy an ebook reader. Most of the popular models are just about the same: e-ink screen, some buttons, maybe wifi and touchscreen. That's the hardware.
Then you've got the software side: the bookshelf, apps, reader software, as well as the whole framework behind. This is what most people end up comparing between readers. This is the firmware.
Openinkpot is a firmware replacement. On supported readers you can completely replace your original firmware with OI, with its framework, custom bookshelf, reader software - all of it. Your original firmware doesn't have folders in the bookshelf? You can't choose the fonts you want to read in, or adjust the margins, or bla bla bla? No problem. Get rid of your old firmware. Openinkpot has these features, and is becoming more useful day by day. OpenInkpot is developer friendly, free, and completely open source, so anyone can add the features they want and share them with the community.
That's OpenInkpot. Got it? You can go to the website and find out more.
ps. Please correct me, someone, if I got something wrong. I tend to play a little fast and loose with the technical terms  |
Thank you - that's cleared up the questions - now where did you, may I ask, find that description explicitly described?
